Okay, so this whacked-out palm pilot seems capable of picking up video, audio, and text feeds from who-knows-where, but it can't send out a simple e-mail. E-mail. Electronic mail. On the worldwide web. You know, that thing that transmits worldwide? I mean, what, is this thing hooked up on some independent network or did the pulse happen all over

Manticore? Isn't that the monster in the stories that guards a maze?

[manticorean]

Nah, you're thinking of the Minotaur. Manticore's a different kind of monster. Though speaking of mazes, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a half-bull half-man creeping around this place.

There's tunnels underneath the mansion, if you want to go exploring. I can show you?

[manticorean]

Tunnels? Like a sewer system? Maybe I can follow it back to HQ.

Where did this place come from, anyway? I don't remember a mansion cropping up anywhere.

Isn't 'manticore' a form of fish or something?

I'm sure I've seen it on cans in the supermarket..

[manticorean]

Trust me, it's not something you'll find on a grocery list. It doesn't exist. Not anymore, anyway.

[idkmybfftony]

Oh. Huh.

Well, anyway! Welcome! To.. uhh.. Wonderland. I'm America!

[manticorean]

... Wonderland? What, is this some kind of amusement park or something?

America, huh? Your parents must've been real patriots, then.
